Harry Potter 1-3 Isolated Scores |

John Williams once again immortalized himself to a generation of young movie-goers with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, producing an effusive neo-romantic score at a time when that style was considered long-outdated and sappy. But as studios today try to make their music edgier, noisier, and more abstract, I think Williams's traditional score helps ensure that the original Harry Potter will be a timelessly accessible film. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets follows the original movie stylistically (sometimes note-for-note; most of this music was adapted/arranged by William Ross as Williams didn't have the time to fully commit) while Prisoner of Azkaban takes a drastic left turn towards the weird, altering between sparse and outrageous underscoring as the scene demands.
Williams is one of the few film composers today who chooses (or is allowed!) to follow the action and movement of the film while still writing long-form self-contained music, and Harry Potter shows his mastery of this with great sequences like the Quidditch match in the first film, the flying car in the second, and the werewolf transformation in the third. I've edited isolated scores of all three so that you can see just how carefully he follows the action or dialogue of a scene with orchestrational details that might not come across in the normal audio mix.
For most of the project I used La-La Land Record's recent release of the three scores, but bootlegs were used to fill any gaps. I tried to reinstate any music that was "dialed out"/unused, so long as it seemed to make sense with the picture. Almost all the edits made to the music on the dubbing stage were recreated, so these audio tracks won't float out of sync with the on-screen action. For the first two films I synced to the Amazon Web-DLs and for Azkaban I used a copy of the Blu-ray, but I hope these files are in sync with any copy of the movie. Sometimes the music editor decides to cut up a piece of music or use a cue from a different section of the movie instead of keeping what the composer originally wrote. In these cases (such as the Shrieking Shack scene) I used the originally-written music instead and matched it to the movie as best I could. I think you might be surprised at how differently some of these scenes play out with the original music (Azkaban has a lot of these).
The only music I couldn't truly use was the shawm source cue in Azkaban where Mr. Weasley warns Harry about Sirius Black. I tried looping and changing the pitch of the small portion I had to recreate the cue but it didn't turn out very well -- you can be the judge. Otherwise the entire scores are presented here in fantastic quality.
All files are FLAC 16-bit; anyone interested can PM me.

Alleycat’s Project List |

Thought I would make a thread with a list of the projects I have done.
I appreciate in a streaming world there are people who don’t want to watch physical media, but as a huge supporter of it I want all of my projects on disc. Having invested in professional blu ray menu creation software, and spent a lot of time learning the sometimes complicated art of java blu ray menu design, all of my projects will be released as blu ray files. Also, with the help of a friend, with professional looking covers, booklets and disc art.
With most of these projects I received help and guidance from several fanres members, such as capturing LD audio for me or giving general advice and assistance - so a massive thanks to you all.
Criterion Preservations
![[Image: LNFgkZhm.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/LNFgkZhm.jpg)
Every collector knows the name Criterion, but a lot of their most memorable titles have not been reissued on blu ray. The collection is an attempt to preserve some of their past titles, most of which were only released on laserdisc. At the start I set myself some rules, the discs have to include any commentary and the same type of audio (e.g. mono) ideally uncompressed from the LD where possible. They also have to contain every special feature from the LD/DVD and have a menu that looks identical to an official criterion blu ray menu.
This in itself was a challenge as the criterion menus contain animation, and depending on the number of chapters involved it required an average of 100 menus working behind the scenes to make it look right. I even took screenshots from the official discs and rebuilt each part, with the same colours, fonts and font sizes etc.
High res artwork, created by Pineapples101, can be found for some of the projects here
The list so far:
Blood For Dracula
Flesh For Frankenstein
Boyz N The Hood
Dead Presidents
Menace II Society
Jason And The Argonauts
Halloween
Dr No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
The Adventures Of Robin Hood
Hard Boiled
The Killer
Seven (Completed)
Robocop
Crash
Taxi Driver
Armageddon

Project List? |

I think it would be great to have a project list section on the site, where members can list all the projects they have done so far and have links to each of them. From what I can see the only way to do this currently is to have an external site and put a link to it in your signature?

I want to compile a list of blogs and sites, movie related, written by our own members.
https://doppiaggiitalioti.com
Probably no non-Italian speaker could be interested, but I want to note that this blog is simply superb!
Thanks Evit for your amusing job!
http://framecompare.com
After screenshotcomparison.com is dead, this is the only reliable site where to post our screenshots!
You save us all, Williarob!
http://blah-ray.blogspot.com
A blog about difference in sounds of movies released in blu-ray.
Great insights, Moshrom!
Pretty sure there are more, so let's post them - I'll update the first post with new entries!

That 70s Show - original FOX airings |

I'm in need of searching for the original FOX run of That 70s Show. I already managed to find about 2/3rds of the show but I'm still missing a chunk of the episodes. The reason being is because they feature music not in current home video and syndication airings and I want to preserve the original versions of the episodes. As of now I'm missing episodes 12-18 of season 1, all of season 2, and a single episode of season 3. If anyone possibly can tell me where to find the rest, please let me know.
